Chapter 11 Addiction to papermaking
Through two or three days of visits, Li Yu turned around Xianyang City.
At this time, the house was really cheap, and the annual rental cost of a shop was only two taels of silver.
For the previous Li Yu, it was indeed very expensive, but this time is not that time.
Li Yu took the line of Yingzheng and got a marquis, for the marquis, this money is really drizzle.
……
"How many houses do you need, just inform the officials, why bother to run there yourself."
Looking at the history of Gyeonggi, Zhao Youting was complimented and spoke pleasantly.
Li Yu couldn't help but laugh and said: "What Lord Neishi said is not appropriate, since he is an official in the same dynasty, it is naturally better to meet each other, and the shop should still collect as much as it wants, and it is not possible to engage in privileges." ”
What Li Yu said, the so-called privilege, for Zhao Youting, who has been in the center of power for a long time and has dealt with princes and nobles, Zhao Youting did not take it to heart.
Maybe it's a little surprising that the prince would say such a thing.
But these words came out of Li Yu's mouth, and Zhao Youting could only pretend to be confused, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, what the prince said is reasonable." ”
The prevarication is beyond words, and Li Yu is not stupid, and he is even more lazy to care.
In Daqin, the princes and princes were three princes and nine kings, including land wealth, common people, and slaves.
Under such a hierarchical system, to say that there is no privilege is to question His Majesty's way of governing the country.
Li Yu even flashed a thought, whether to change the hierarchy of Great Qin.
But then he shook his head and dispelled this idea, such a concept that was too advanced was not necessarily suitable for today's Great Qin.
Now that he has figured it out, Li Yu will not be verbose, what is most important now, of course, is power and money.
If you are determined to make Great Qin stronger, both are indispensable, and if you have the right, what about the money......
Li Yu gambled on a spicy strip, and now there is no deposit in the Great Qin treasury.
Therefore, everything still depends on his own food and clothing, so Zhao Yun put a package on the table.
Li Yu then said: "Lord Neishi is busy with official business, so Benjun will no longer bother, on the table is a deposit for the lease of two shops for five years, a total of one hundred taels of silver for five years, a lot." ”
Zhao Youting's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "The prince can't help it, if you let Your Majesty know......
In this world, is it popular to send money forcibly?
Li Yu was a little surprised, and immediately interrupted: "It's okay, if Your Majesty holds you accountable, you will say that this monarch insists on paying." ”
Being able to serve in the internal history of Gyeonggi, Zhao Youting naturally has something extraordinary.
I said that just now, just to wait for Li Yu to say a word so that I could make a difference, and when I heard Li Yu get up and explain, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare, the next official will send you." ”
It's all sleek old oilmen, the treasury is empty, and he doesn't want to make money, Li Yu shook his head helplessly.
"It's a long road."
Out of the Inner History Mansion, Li Yu sent Zhao Yun to call Cai Lun.
After a few days of cultivation, Cai Lun walked much smoother, but for men, purification should be the most terrifying palace punishment in history.
Li Yu couldn't help but shudder, and said with concern: "Xiao Cai, how is your cultivation in the past few days?" ”
Cai Lun showed a touch of shyness on his face?
I'm afraid it's not that Li Yu is wrong......
I saw Cai Lun bowing down and saying: "Thank you Lord Hou for your concern, the villain is fine, the villain has been thinking about papermaking every day for the past few days, and he already has some eyebrows." ”
The system does not have the business of paper technology by the way, but Cai Lun can spend three or two days to figure it out, which is indeed a bit shocking.
Li Yu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Oh? Tell me about it. ”
Cai Lun thought for a while, organized the language expression, and then spoke: "Recently, the villain was thinking, it would be good if this paper could be stretched as smoothly as cloth, and then I thought that when I was a child, I went up the mountain with my parents to cut firewood and bamboo, and those trees and bamboo joints were inextricably linked, if I could ...... these trees."
The more Li Yu listened, the more shocked he became, Cai Lun probably knew about making paper, but now hearing it on the spot was another experience.
Seeing that Cai Lun's exposition had a tendency to gush, Li Yu hurriedly interrupted: "It's not enough to just discuss, let's go, let's combine practice, the so-called practice produces true knowledge......
The reason why Li Yu visited Xianyang was to find such two places that could be quickly converted into paper workshops.
A mill with a warehouse next to it.
Li Yu took Cai Lun and Zhao Yun into the market.
A month later.
The court is rumoring: Xianjun Marquis Li Yu first arrived in Xianyang, took two young people into the mill, and disappeared for a month.
Li Yu, a newcomer who has just arrived, made such a strange move, and it is no wonder that the officials have different opinions.
Ying Zheng was looking at the twists and turns about the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in his hands, but his mind was not on the twists.
Xianjun actually took two handsome teenagers to stay in the mill for a month.
……
Ying Zheng showed a hint of doubt on his face, what are you doing in the mill?
What can be done?
The behavior of this Immortal Monarch Marquis was really unexpectedly erratic, making it difficult to fathom.
Ying Zheng first shook his head, tapped his hand a few times, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then said, "Zhao Gao, go to Nanshi with me." ”
Zhao Gao just glanced at it and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
……
Since Li Si was troubled by Li Yu to the west of Xianyang City, the place has been quiet.
But the road to the early dynasty is really far, in the past, it only took a quarter of an hour to get to Xianyang Palace, but now it is to get up on the third watch.
I was on fire in my heart, and I heard from the butler's mouth that Li Yu seemed to be tinkering with something in the mill, and it had been a month.
Li Si's fingers tapped the bamboo scroll on the table, which was previously played to Yingzheng about the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
Li Si pondered for a moment, then folded his fingers and shouted, "Prepare the car and go to Chengnanfang City." ”
……
Li Yu stared at the pool of milky white slurry in the mill with red eyes, and as Zhao Yun and Cai Lun slowly lifted the gauze from the pool, they couldn't help but remind loudly: "Slow down!" Slow down!"
As the two ends of the gauze were lifted, a thin layer of milky white powder was dyed on it, and it was placed on a smooth stone platform next to it.
"Hurry up, put on the plank, press on the boulder," Li Yu shouted again.
This is the third improvement, and Li Yu is not in a hurry, Li Yu at this time, including Zhao Yun and Cai Lun, is the same, unkempt and dirty, and even the clothes on his body are with some tree shaved white pulp, which is extremely sloppy.
Li Yu looked haggard as he watched the boulder pressed against the gauze, suddenly revealing a flush, and shouted vigorously: "Xiao Cai, start a fire and bake it!"
Grandma's, busy for a month, just watch this hair into the soul.
Cai Lun is more tired, after all, there is something missing.
But he was also excited, and his hands and feet were numb and lit a fire under the stone platform.
Li Yu's shout just now was not small, and Zhao Gao, who had just walked to the door, stumbled.
"Start a fire, roast him?"
Could it be that the Immortal Monarch is lynching?
Zhao Gao's white old face looked a little panicked.
